Purpose
Abstract Cruise MSM51 into the western, central and northern Baltic Sea aimed to perform seismo- and hydroacoustic surveys, sampling of Holocene sediments and to investigate the water column wintertime mixing close to sea-ice limits. The program during the cruise included water and sediment sampling after detailed hydroacoustic surveying with hull-mounted multibeam bathymetry and sediment echosounder (PARASOUND) systems.The recording period followed as planned.
